Peacock theme bad luck

Sarah, 2 September, 2022 at 16:58 Posted on Etiquette and Advice 0 37
I was going to have my wedding theme as peacock feathers. Had 1delivered today just to have a look at the colours. My friend was here with me and nearly had a heart attack when I told her my idea. Apparently peacock feathers are bad luck.
Are they ?

    I've never heard of that but superstitions only have weight if you believe in them, and as you've heard of them being bad luck, you can't believe in it so why does it matter.

    Can you keep it as a colour scheme and just remove the feather elements?

    That's what I am going to do keep the blue and the jade and just lose the feathers. No big deal really I had just never heard of it before.

    I believe the peacock feather patterns are suppose to look like the 'eye of the devil' so therefore bad luck. However it depends on how superstitious you are I say go for it if you like the feathers! The colours are beautiful Smiley smile
    People say black cats are unlucky but I completely disagree 🤪

    I had a friend who had a peacock themed wedding nearly 20 years ago and it doesn't seem to have done her or her OH any harm. But if it's going to worry you, then ditch the theme.

    It's certainly a thing in Scotland, my Mum always says Peacock feathers are bad luck, my Granny did too!

    I’ve never heard of that. Unless you are highly superstitious and believe in that sort of thing, I would say go for it!


    Superstitions are only as true and you allow them to be x

    Hi, I was a bridesmaid for one of my friends and she had a peacock theme. It must be now, almost 10 years down the line, and they're still happily married with 3 children! Smiley smile

    I think peacocks mean different things in different cultures, some believe it's lucky others not. I went to a wedding that had the colours of a peacock as a theme. It was incredibly beautiful.

    Exactly and the person who said they are unlucky is only seeing the negative. I'm getting to the point that they are seeing the negative in everything to do with our wedding so maybe a bit of jealousy going on lol
